| Traditionally, building a radio receiver is among the more rewarding electronics projects. This receiver is based on an MK484 IC for the AM...

| Want to experiment with radio reception in the medium-wave (MW) band? This receiver, which is based on an MK484 IC for the AM detector, oper...

| For aircraft enthusiasts and in particular plane spotters, it’s always interesting to listen to communications between aircraft and control...

| This end-fed or “Zepp” or “J-Pole” antenna provides excellent results in combination with the scanner for the aviation band (108–137 MHz) de...

| Small robots are eminently suitable for experimenting with various possibilities for generating movement. Particularly when a number of legs...

| This circuit is for a superheterodyne receiver where the image frequency is suppressed without the use of an input filter. Instead, it uses...

| Crystal filters are often used for IF filters in receivers, where the bandwidth of this filter largely determines the selectivity of the rec...

| Fabricating printed circuit boards is not something that every electronics hobbyist does for themselves. It is, however, not really that dif...

| The RF sweep frequency generator (‘wobbulator’) published in the October 2008 issue of Elektor has a receiver option that allows the instrum...

| This receiver has some characteristics not unlike those of the so-called ‘world band receivers’ from the old days, which could usually recei...
